It’s confirmed! Irrfan Khan’s Hindi Medium sequel to go on floors this August

Irrfan Khan’s last release Hindi Medium received a lot of love from the audience. The actor even won the Best Actor Award at the prestigious 63rd Jio Filmfare Awards 2018 for his performance in the film. Seeing the film’s success, Irrfan had earlier told a daily that film’s producer Dinesh Vijan would perhaps be interested in making a sequel to the comedy. Looks like things are falling right in place as Hindi Medium Sequel is officially happening and the film will go on floors in August.

A source close to the makers of the film informed, “The story flash-forwards by a decade so five-year-old Pia will be in her teens now, around 15-16 years. The story will be a fresh take on the Indian educational system with little reference to the original.”

In the film, Irrfan will be seen portraying the role of a Delhi based businessman named Raj Batra who aspires to give his daughter the best education. Despite film’s great success, sources inform that Pakistani actress Saba Qamar who played his wife in the film, may not be a part of the sequel.

Though Saba in her conversation with a Pakistan daily expressed her desire of working with Irrfan in a film again. She said, “After the massive success of Hindi Medium, the producers are all set for a sequel. I hope Irrfan and I get to work in the second instalment of the blockbuster,”
